Computers will collect unnecessary files while you use them and you need to take the time to clean the clutter of years worth of use. With a Mac, you can perform an automatic or manual system clean. If you want to do a quick cleanup, there are some tips that you need to know about.

Clean Up Your Cache

You have probably heard about removing your cache when it comes to troubleshooting your web browser. It is not only the web browser that stores files in a cache, but your Mac will also do this as well. This is done to allow fast access to data and reduce the need to pull the source material.

While this is something that makes it easier to get the data, these files take up space on your Mac. This use of space will generally slow everything down. There are software packages that you can use to clear the cache for you, or you could manually delete the files yourself. If you decide to do this yourself, you will need to know where to go and which files you should be removing.

Remove Old Mail Attachments

There are a lot of different types of mail attachments that you get from PDF to images to documents. While this is not a problem, when you download the files, it is easy to double-click on it. When you do this, your Mac will save the data in the Mail Downloads folder on your computer. Double-clicking enough of these files will see the folder balloon and start to slow everything down.

It is why you need to remove the old Mail Downloads. All you need to do is find the Mail Downloads file in the folders section. Once you have the folder open, you select and delete all of the data. It is recommended that you empty this folder at least once a year.

Empty The Trash

When you delete files, they go to the trash bin before they are eliminated. It means that they are still taking up space on your Mac that you want for other things. To delete these files, you will need to empty the Trash bin.

It is straightforward to do. All you have to do is click and hold the Trash bin icon in the Dock. A popup will appear, and you need to select Empty Trash from the options available. Once you do this, the files will be permanently deleted from your Mac.

Remove Old iOS Backups.

Having a backup f your files is essential, but these old backups take up a lot of space on your Mac. This is why you should look at removing the old backups that you no longer need. Each backup is stored on the Mac and can be accessed with iTunes. To delete your old backups, you will need to head to iTunes.

In the menu bar, you need to go to iTunes and Preferences. Click on the Devices tab to find the list of all your backups. You can then choose the backups that you no longer want or need and delete them. Visit this page to find more!

We will introduce you to a series of browsers, from the most famous to the most unknown, to help you select your own. Follow the guide!

On the Google Play Store, you can find a lot of Internet browsers for your smartphone or Android tablet. Be careful; not all browsers will suit you. It’s all about finding the one that has the features you’re looking for and whose interface you like the most.

Google Chrome

We naturally start with a classic: Google Chrome.

The in-house solution integrated by Google has many advantages: it allows you, for example, to synchronize your history and tabs with the desktop version of Google Chrome. To take advantage of the latest innovations, we invite you to download the versions under development of Chrome, which are accessible via the Beta section of the Google Play Store: Chrome Beta, Chrome Dev, and Chrome Canary.

We recommend Chrome Beta, which remains more stable than the others. However, if you want to focus on stability rather than novelty, Google Chrome will do the job correctly.

Samsung Internet

Unusually complete and intuitive to learn, Samsung Internet will delight enthusiasts with a clear and practical interface.

It includes scanning gestures, which make it easy to navigate from one tab to another, useful plug-ins to make your shopping on Amazon easier and 360° video support. Best of all, Samsung’s browser automatically blocks ads that may appear on your smartphone.

Firefox

Unlike many Android browsers, Firefox makes it easy to install extensions, just like our desktop browser.

In the same vein, it is possible to install themes, to further customize your browser. Like Chrome, Firefox also allows you to synchronize your history and your favorite tabs with your desktop browser. A must if you are already using Firefox on your computer.

Tor Browser

Thanks to the Tor Browser, you will be able to surf the Internet incognito!

It allows the Android users to browse the web without your data being collected and by blocking intrusive ads and trackers. Also equipped with a VPN and Proxy, Tor Browser will allow you to surf the Tor network. It is the browser you are advised to use to protect your online privacy!

Lynket

Installed in addition to Google Chrome, which is, in any case, the default browser par excellence, Lynket (formerly called Chromer) works wonders of ergonomics.

It allows you to browse websites in the same way as if they were applications. Connected to Chrome, Lynket will open each page as a separate application. For the most confused and distracted Internet users, this is an excellent solution. Lynket also allows increasing the loading speed of pages.

The code of the latest version of the Google application reveals an interesting fact: the manufacturer would plan a charging station transforming the pixels into Google Home.

Google is now a pure and hard manufacturer, both on smartphones and on a diverse and varied galaxy of high-tech devices. For the general public, in particular, it has made a name for itself thanks to its Google Home range, which includes several speakers including Google Assistant.

That being said, American consumers (and some other European countries, but not us) can taste the Pixel range which integrates smartphones produced directly by the manufacturer. As Google Pixel 3 prepares for the end of the year, the two product categories could be back together.

Transform your Pixel 3 into Google Home once at home

It is the Google application, or at least the code of its latest beta version (8.14), which teaches us this. Indeed, Android Police has spotted that the developer would prepare a “Pixel Stand” docking station for its future Pixel 3.

The most exciting thing is that the lines found in the code indicate that the phone would suggest using Google Assistant on this dock, thus transforming it into a Google Home backup.

The Home Mini you can take everywhere

It’s no secret: Google relies on Wizard to keep the company going, whose revenues are currently far too based on advertising its search engine.

Such a station would thus have the double effect of being an essential accessory for a Google mobile, but also of getting users increasingly (and somewhat insidiously) used to the presence of the assistant in their home. As a result, Amazon is already very well positioned in this significant new segment of the Tech market thanks to its Echo.

Google Pixel 3 should offer wireless charging.

XDA Developers users found a clue in the last update of the Google application on Android. There is, in particular, a line indicating “Pixel Stand” revealing a heap of other information. However, Google’s voice assistant could offer new features once Google Pixel 3 (which has unveiled brand new) is wirelessly charged – while still locked. Future feature leaks via third-party application source code are not new to the smartphone market.

The jack should disappear from the iPad Pro for the 2019 batch. Moreover, the arrival of Face ID – and its nonfunctioning in horizontal mode – could force Apple to rethink its accessories in vertical mode.

After the iPhone, it would be the iPad Pro’s turn to lose its jack socket: this is in any case what the Japanese site specialized in information relating to the supply chain of large companies, Macotakara asserts. According to our Japanese colleagues, to reduce a little more the dimensions of its tablets, Apple would remove the jack socket of iPad Pro which should be launched next year. This loss of equipment would greatly benefit the 12.9-inch model, which would lose 2 cm in height for the same screen size.

Unlike the iPhone 7, the first device of its kind to get rid of the jack, the future iPad Pro should not be delivered with the Lightning to Jack 3.5 mm adapter.

Face ID can be used vertically.

One technology chases the other: the loss of the 3.5 mm jack would be in favor of the arrival of Apple’s facial recognition technology, Face ID. A system that has a fault: it does not work in horizontal mode.

According to Macotakara, Apple would, therefore, consider encouraging its users to use it vertically, especially for the dock and keyboard. For this, the company could move its Smart Connector, which is located in the middle of the left side of the iPad (when viewed from the front) a little closer to the Lightning connector. A redesign of the accessories is therefore possible… So be careful with backward compatibility.

The internet browsing speed is a key feature to consider while picking a new smartphone. If you are paying your hard-earned money for a new phone, you want to make sure that you are able to gain access to fast and reliable internet browsing.

But iPhone lovers feel frustrated nowadays. According to the latest market research, Samsung phones are already winning the battle. With faster internet data, users are able to download websites, browse them and use the key features of the phone. This can become a major selling point that will boost the sales of Samsung phones.

The average user might not be able to tell the difference right away. But you can definitely sense the difference in a quality of a video or how fast it takes you to download a file. Apple’s iPhones are still among the best-selling and most popular smartphones on the planet. Nevertheless, the company needs to keep an eye on their main competitor as Samsung is trying to establish their status as a more reliable and user-friendly smartphone. Only time will determine the winner.

Every now and then, Facebook greets its users with a series of new privacy and settings updates. The latest one that took action starting from mid-July, aimed at giving users more control over the data that can be shared and accessed by Facebook.

Privacy concerns are hot among social media users. With a lot of news about leaks and privacy violations, Facebook has become socially and legally responsible for protecting the private data of millions of users.

The new updates give Facebook users control over the amount of data that can be accessed by third parties and by Facebook itself. Determining the type of ads shown and controlling third-party applications will help users secure their private information. While a lot of people might feel overwhelmed by the number of changes and updates, the whole issue still remains to be a major safety concern. Facebook is determined to keep on providing free services and doesn’t aim to make money by sharing the information of users. Nevertheless, people have to be wise enough to select the kind of data they choose to share online.
